Doubling Times in Different Media – Escherichia coli (BNID 110058)

A BioNumbers database entry on Escherichia coli doubling times in different media. The companion cites it for a generation time of about twenty minutes in rich medium, the fast end of the biological range in Fig. 6b. It sets the baseline against which noogenetic lineages decouple generation time from complexity (trial-bound tempo, P6).
